Background: Recorded at a single evening's performance (25 May 1962), this Fidelio, under the baton of Herbert von Karajan (who was also responsible for the acclaimed stage production), is remarkable for its spontaneity and sense of theatrical presence.

A risk-taking, highly charged account, it also records the successful débuts of Christa Ludwig (Leonore), Gundula Janowitz (Marzelline), and Walter Berry (Pizarro) in their respective roles. Packaging: multipack with three-language libretto and newly commissioned article by Gottfried Kraus, plus dramatic photos from the original production.
